The bad news is that the rains will continue, but the good news is there will be less. Many of more than 4,000 people who were displaced by the heavy rains and floods over the last two weeks are starting to return to their homes. The weather continues to be unstable due to the effects of a low-pressure area and rains are expected in the northwest, northeast, southeast, the central mountains and along the border with Haiti. The recent rains have been blamed for at least three deaths and two people have been reported missing.
The alert levels have gone down from red to yellow for San Cristobal, Bahoruco, Elias Pina, Dajabon, Montecristi, La Vega, Monsignor Nouel (Bonao), Sanchez Ramirez (Cotui), Maria Trinidad Sanchez (Nagua), Monte Plata, San Jose de Ocoa, San Pedro de Macoris, La Altagracia (Higuey), La Romana, El Seibo, Hermanas Mirabal (Salcedo) and Duarte (San Francisco de Macoris).
The alert level for Samana, Santo Domingo, the National District and Santiago was lowered from yellow to green. The latest report from the Emergency Operations Center (COE) indicated that 723 houses have been damaged by floods or landslides, while eleven communities were still cut off by overflowing creeks and rivers.
